Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to furniture for office construction which is suitably used when constructing an office having a work space such as an office space, a management space, a meeting space and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an office space for an office worker who works in an office, a management space for an administrator who manages an office worker such as a section manager, or a conference where a plurality of people gather to gather When constructing an office in which various workspaces such as a meeting space for holding a meeting are set, an office layout is performed by appropriately combining individual desks with a desktop panel or scattered in various places. And partitioning the space used by each person by using a partition panel (so-called low partition panel) whose lower end is grounded to the floor and whose upper end does not reach the ceiling In the space and attach the top plate to the low partition panel By which such is known that the use as a desk.

[0003]

However, when individual desks provided with desktop panels are combined, the desks are not connected to each other or the desktop panels are not connected. There is a problem that a step or a gap is easily generated between adjacent desktop panels due to a difference in mounting accuracy of the desktop panel with respect to the desk. Further, the shapes of the desks and desktop panels and the height of the desktop panels may be uneven, which may result in an office layout without a sense of unity as a whole.

Further, in the case where the desks are partitioned by the low partition panel, the connection between the panels must be disassembled every time the number of personnel in the office is increased or decreased, the layout is changed, or the wiring of computer equipment is changed. You need to move to the location and reassemble the panels to accommodate the new layout. However, since the panels themselves are heavy and the connection structure between adjacent panels is relatively robust, it is difficult for office workers who are not experienced in panel construction to rearrange panels themselves. However, there is a problem that a special contractor must be requested each time. Also,
These problems have led to significant losses in time, effort, and expense, as office members have recently been changing rapidly.

And a desk arranged in an office space and a desktop panel provided on the desk, and connecting the desktop panels respectively attached to the desks arranged at least in adjacent positions by a common connection structure, It is characterized in that the workspace can be set at least in a space surrounded by these desktop panels.

The offices and workspaces referred to here are not limited to office spaces of companies and the above-mentioned work spaces set therein, but are, for example, for learners and instructors in school classrooms and the like. Space and
This concept includes spaces for users in libraries and the like.

With such a configuration, a new workspace can be formed simply by simply relocating the desks and disconnecting and reconnecting adjacent desktop panels. Therefore, the office layout can be easily changed without relying on a specialized contractor. In addition, since the adjacent desktop panels are connected to each other, a layout having a uniform feeling can be obtained as a whole.

In order to change the office layout with a simpler operation, it is desirable that the connection structure connects at least upper ends of adjacent desktop panels.

In this case, in order to realize a more uniform layout as a whole, all the desktop panels are assumed to have substantially the same thickness, and the connection structure is set such that each side is substantially equal to the thickness of the desktop panel. It is composed of an intervening member having an approximately square shape in a plan view and interposed between adjacent desktop panels, and a connecting portion formed so as to mutually connect the upper end portions of the adjacent desktop panels and the upper end portions of the intervening members. Is preferred.

It is preferable that the height positions of the upper ends of the first and second are substantially equal.

In order to effectively secure a wiring space for a computer device or the like placed on a desk, the lower end of the desktop panel should not be grounded to the floor while the desktop panel is mounted on the desk. It is desirable to have. Since the space is formed between the lower end portion of the desktop panel and the floor surface, the cool air and warm air passing through the space under the tabletop of the desk are not blocked, and the air conditioning can be in a good condition. Become.

Furthermore, in order to stabilize the simple connection structure of the desktop panels without impairing them, it is effective to connect the upper end and the lower end of the adjacent desktop panels by a common connection structure.

[0015] In addition, in order to allow the desktop panel to be easily attached to and detached from the desk, an engagement between the desk and the desktop panel in which the desktop panel is detachably engaged with the desk is provided. It is desirable to provide a means.

In this case, in order to be able to attach / detach the desktop panel by a simpler operation, the engaging means is slid to the desk at a predetermined position by sliding the desktop panel relative to the desk. It is preferable to comprise one engaging portion and a second engaging portion which engages the desktop panel with the desk so as to suppress or inhibit the movement of the desktop panel in the thickness direction at the predetermined position.

The first engaging portion having a simple structure includes a hook provided on one of the front surface side of the desktop panel and the non-use end of the desk so as to engage with the other, A configuration in which the hook is fastened to the other side while the desktop panel is engaged with the desk via the hook is exemplified.

On the other hand, a simple structure as the second engaging portion includes a head having a predetermined size provided on one of the front side of the desktop panel and the non-use end of the desk and the head. A stepped pin having a smaller neck portion, a first through hole provided on the other side, through which a head of the stepped pin can pass, and a continuous with the neck portion in a sliding direction when attaching a desktop panel of the first through hole. And a hole having an associated second through-hole.

Further, in order to make the standard of the desk correspond to the standard of the desktop panel and to reliably support the desktop panel with a small number of mounting portions, the desktop panel must have a width substantially equal to the width at the non-use end of the desk. It is preferable that the engaging means be provided at least between both ends in the width direction on the front surface side of the desktop panel and corresponding non-use ends of the desktop panel.

In order to enable proper arrangement and use even if the direction in which the desk is arranged is changed, the non-use ends of the desk have substantially equal width dimensions and are substantially perpendicular to each other in plan view.
One having a character shape is exemplified.

In this case, in order to be able to appropriately arrange the desktop panel in accordance with the various layouts to be constructed, it is necessary to attach the desktop panel to each of the orthogonal anti-use ends. preferable.

In order to effectively block the line of sight of an outsider with a simple structure, the lower end should be placed on the floor at least on the non-use end side of the desk arranged at the end. It is effective to arrange the partition panel installed in the partition panel and connect at least the upper ends of the partition panel and the desktop panel adjacent thereto by the same connection structure as the connection structure.

The cover member 6 having the same shape as that of the cover member 1 is fastened with bolts 53.

In the layout system configured as described above, the layout can be changed without changing each unit space US.

For example, a case in which the layout of the set A shown in FIG. 1 is changed to the structure of the set B shown in FIG. 7 will be described. The basic layout of the set B is the same as that of the set A, in that the row of four work spaces S1 is in each case composed of two sets of eight work spaces S1, but all desks DK belonging to the same row are all set. Arranged in the same direction, the desks DK in adjacent rows are one open end 11
b are arranged to face each other. And FIG.
The glass panels DPg are respectively attached to the two open side ends 11b on the two desks DK in front of the paper surface in FIG. 1, and the glass panels DPg are attached only to the open side ends 11b facing the outside of the set B on the other desks DK. Attached.
Further, each desk DK has a desktop panel DP attached to an anti-use end 11d orthogonal to the direction in which the rows extend, and one of the adjacent desks DK in which the anti-use ends 11d face each other. The desktop panel DP is also attached to the unit 11d. In the operation of changing from the set A so as to be in the mode of the set B, the connector 5 is removed from the desktop panel DP, the glass panel DPg, and the intervening member 4 at a point where the connection needs to be removed at the minimum at the time of the change. Remove the desktop panel DP and the glass panel DPg from the desk DK at a convenient location, remove unnecessary parts, add the missing parts, rearrange the desk DK, and then re-attach each part. Complete with

In addition to this example, the layout can be changed from set A or set B to set C shown in FIG.
In this set C, two sets each forming six unit spaces US in a line are arranged to form a total of 12 unit spaces US, and each unit space US is set as the work space S1. Desk D
The arrangement direction of K is the same as that of the set A, except that at least the partition area PS on the side facing the outside of the set C of the office space S1 disposed at the end and the partition area PS at other appropriate places have a desk. Instead of attaching the desktop panel DP to the DK, similarly to the desktop panel DP, a low partition panel LP, which is a partition panel having a relatively short height used to partition the office space S1 and the like by arranging it in the partition area PS, is arranged. I have. This low partition panel LP has a width dimension of about 800 mm corresponding to half of the module, and has an adjuster (not shown) attached to a lower end thereof and grounded on the floor surface, and an upper end portion to which a decorative member 32 similar to the above is attached. Has a height dimension that is substantially equal to the height position of the upper end portion Dpa of the desktop panel DP, and the thickness thereof is substantially the same as the thickness of the desktop panel DP. The intervening member 4 has substantially the same longitudinal dimension as the low partition panel LP between adjacent low partition panels LP.
By using the same connecting member 5 as the connecting member 5 with an intervening member 140 having the same configuration as that described above, the upper and lower ends of the low partition panels LP are connected to each other. In addition, in a place where two low partition panels LP are directly adjacent to each other without providing the intervening member 140 between them, the upper end and the lower end of the low partition panel LP are attached to the connecting device 5 so as to correspond to the module. The connection is made by using a connection tool 7 having only two parts arranged side by side. In addition, at the place where the adjacent low partition panel LP and desktop panel DP are connected, as shown in FIG. 9, a rail 142 extending vertically is formed on the surface of the interposition member 4 on the side facing the desktop panel DP. Instead of the connecting device 5 at the lower end portion DPb of the DP, the rail 14 is attached to one side of a substantially square mounting portion 81 having the same shape as the one mounting portion 51 of the connecting device 5.
A slider 8 having a projection 82 corresponding to the shape 2 is attached. The projection 82 of the slider 8 is guided by the rail 142 to drop the desktop panel DP from above the low partition panel LP.
Low partition panel LP and desktop panel D
The upper ends of the P and the intervening member 4 are connected to each other by a connector 5. The layout change to the set C having such a configuration can be performed basically in the same manner as the above-described operation. The low partition panel L
Since the connection structure between the Ps is the same or similar to that between the desktop panels DP, the low partition panels LP can be attached and detached with a simple operation.
When the layout is changed, only that part is not changed, and if necessary, a specialized contractor may be requested. In this set C, the desktop panel Dps having a half width dimension of the desktop panel DP is partially used. In this case, the center in the width direction at the non-use end 11d of the desk Dk and the desktop panel Dps are used. The connecting means 7 is used to connect the desktop panels DP with each other.

Further, the layout can be changed to a form of a set D as shown in FIG. In this set D, a partition area P surrounding 12 unit spaces US
In S, the desktop panel D, the glass panel DPg, the partition panel such as the low partition panel LP, etc. are not arranged in two places, and the arranged desktop panel D is arranged.
P, glass panel DPg, low partition panel L
P forms eight office spaces S1 each composed of one unit space US, and a management space S2 and a meeting space S3 composed of two adjacent unit spaces US. Management Space S
In the space 2, a desk DK and a side desk SD adjacent to the one open side end 11b are arranged, and a space for an administrator who manages the office worker belonging to the set C is provided. It was done. Note that this administrator's desk D
The shelf OP is attached to K as an optional member by the above-described means. Meeting space S
In the table 3, a table TB is provided for an office worker or an administrator to perform a home registration or the like. Also in this set D, the meeting space S3 and the management space S3 which are easily exposed to the eyes from the outside and have a large area
2, a low partition panel LP is appropriately arranged.

FIG. 11 shows an example of an office space OF in which various sets including the sets A, B, C, and D described above are arranged. In this office space OF, in addition to these sets, work spaces such as a conference room R1, a reception room R2, a copy room R3, and a boardroom R4 are also formed. The description is omitted because it is configured.

According to the office building furniture of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the desktop panels DP respectively attached to the desks DK arranged according to the above-described layout system are connected by a common connection structure. Basically, office staff can change the layout by themselves in simple operations such as disconnecting the desktop panels DP, relocating the desk DK, and reconnecting the desktop panels DP. It is possible to save time and money effectively without having to rely on a panel construction specialist. Further, by connecting the adjacent desktop panels DP to each other, a sense of unity of the entire layout can be obtained.

Since such a connection structure of the desktop panels DP connects at least the upper ends DPa of the adjacent desktop panels DP, the appearance of the layout can be particularly improved. Also,
Lower end portions DPb of these adjacent desktop panels DP
Are connected to the upper end portion DPa with a common connection structure, so that a more stable connection state can be obtained while simplifying the connection structure.

In particular, the desktop panel DP has a certain thickness dimension, and an intervening member 4 having four sides substantially equal to the thickness dimension is interposed between adjacent desktop panels DP, and the upper end of the adjacent desktop panel DP Since the connection portion Y formed between the portion DPa and the upper end portion 4a of the interposition member 4 connects these components to each other, a more secure connection state of the desktop panel DP can be realized. . Further, the gap between the desktop panels DP can be hidden by such intervening members 4 to improve the appearance.

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects.

That is, according to the office building furniture of the present invention, the desktop panels attached to the desks are connected to each other by a common connection structure. In general, simply disconnect the desktop panels, relocate the desktop panels and reconnect the desktop panels, and simply re-connect the desktop panels without relying on a specialized contractor. It is possible to form a space. Furthermore, since the adjacent desktop panels are connected to each other, the overall sense of unity is not lost before and after the layout change.

If the connection structure of the desktop panels is such that at least the upper ends of adjacent desktop panels are connected, the layout of the office can be changed by a simple operation of disconnecting and reconnecting the upper ends. it can.

In particular, the thickness dimensions of the desktop panels are unified, and an intervening member having a shape in a plan view having four sides substantially equal to the thickness dimension is interposed between the adjacent desktop panels. In the case where the connection structure is configured so as to connect them to each other by a connection portion formed at the upper end of the member, more secure connection of the desktop panel can be realized.

As such a connecting portion, a connecting tool having a mounting portion detachable from an intervening member and a desktop panel adjacent to the intervening member, an upper end portion of the intervening member and a longitudinal end of the desktop panel. In the case where the connecting portion is formed at the upper end portion of the portion and the attached portion corresponding to the connecting tool, the configuration of the connecting portion can be effectively simplified.

Furthermore, if the height of the upper end of the adjacent desktop panel is set to be substantially equal to the height of the upper end of the connector while the connector is attached to the intervening member and the desktop panel, it is formed. In addition, the appearance of each workspace can be made clearer and coherent.

When the desktop panel is mounted on the desk so that the lower end of the desktop panel does not touch the floor, a space for easily passing wiring extending from an electric device such as a computer device disposed on the desk is secured. Thus, the wiring work can be easily performed. Furthermore, since the conditioned air can be passed through the space formed between the lower end portion of the desktop panel and the floor surface, a good air-conditioning state can be obtained without interrupting cool air or warm air.

Furthermore, if both the upper end and the lower end of the adjacent desktop panel are connected by a common connection structure, the simple connection structure of the desktop panel is not impaired, and a more stable connection of the desktop panel is achieved. You can get the status.

In the case where the engaging means capable of attaching the desktop panel to the desk in a detachable manner is provided between the desk and the desktop panel, the desktop panel can be easily mounted by the engaging relation between the two. It can be attached to a desk and can be easily removed.

If the desktop panel is configured to include the second engaging portion that engages the desktop panel so as to suppress or prohibit, the main operation in attaching and detaching the desktop panel is as follows.
This is an extremely simple operation of sliding movement by the first engaging portion, and a stable mounting state of the desktop panel can be realized by the second engaging portion.

More specifically, a first structure in which the hook provided on one of the front surface side of the desktop panel and the non-use end of the desk is engaged with the other, and the hook is fastened to the other side. In this case, the desktop panel can be properly engaged with the desk by sliding the desktop panel in the engagement direction of the hook with an extremely simple structure of engagement by hooks and fastening of bolts.

On the other hand, the stepped pin provided on either the front surface side of the desktop panel or the non-use end of the desk is made smaller in the moving direction of the stepped pin, for example, a daruma hole provided on the other side. If the second engaging portion is formed from the hole having such a configuration, the movement of the desktop panel in the thickness direction at the position where the first engaging portion is engaged can be easily suppressed or prohibited. be able to.

Further, the width of the desktop panel is set to be substantially equal to the width at the non-use end of the desk, and at least both ends in the width direction on the front side of the desktop panel and the anti-use of the desktop panel. When the engaging means is formed between the both ends in the width direction at the end, the sense of unity of the layout is improved by making the desk and the desktop panel correspond to each other, and the desktop panel is minimized. It is possible to stably support at the limited mounting points.

Further, in the case where the desk has an anti-use end which has a substantially equal width dimension and is substantially perpendicular to each other and has a V-shape in plan view, the direction in which the desk is arranged is, for example, approximately 90 degrees. ° Even if changed, an effective use state can be obtained while maintaining an appropriate arrangement.

In particular, in the case of a desk having such a configuration, if a desktop panel can be attached to each of the anti-use ends orthogonal to each other, the desktop panel can be appropriately arranged according to various layouts. It is possible to satisfactorily partition between desks.

Further, by disposing a partition panel having at least a lower end portion on the floor at the non-use end side of the desk, which is disposed at an end which is easily exposed to the line of sight from the outside, the line of sight of a person passing through the outside can be obtained. If the partition panel and at least the upper end portions of the desktop panel adjacent thereto are connected by the same connection structure as the connection structure between the desktop panels, the connection structure of the panel can be reduced. Not only can it be unified into a simple one, but also the work of attaching and detaching the desktop panel from the partition panel can be easily performed without relying on a contractor.
